Update III, Helsinki, Trump, Putin, and Tweets

Heather Hastie — Sun, 22 Jul 2018 06:09:28 +0000

Hopefully, this is the last of these just-to-keep-things-ticking-over-with-some-tweets posts. Last week, I had a Needs Assessment by an Occupational Therapist. As a result, I’m expecting a new chair within the next week or so. Otherwise things are pretty much the same on the home front. “My cat” (really the neighbour’s cat who has chosen me […]

Russia, Crimea, Putin, and Trump (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Sun, 10 Jun 2018 03:09:33 +0000

I was about to go back to work on a Proper Post. Then I remembered I wanted to change my Pinned Tweet (see below in Cat Tweets). On opening Twitter I found some pretty cool tweets and decided I’d like to share them with you. We’ve been discussing Trump’s attitude to Russia and Putin a […]

I’m Worried About War (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 05:13:20 +0000

You haven’t heard from me for a few days except in Third Month Mania posts, so I thought I’d check in with a Tweets Post. I’m writing a Proper Post, but it’s not going that well. I’m sick again, so Deep Thought is not something that I’m doing very well. Also, I’ve come across some […]

First World Problems (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Mon, 05 Mar 2018 02:02:58 +0000

Tweets is about all I’m up for today. There are a lot of things going wrong in my life at the moment (again), though to be fair, there are probably tens of millions around the world who would swap their life for mine in an instant. Just look what President Assad is doing to his […]

Notes to Readers, plus Tweets

Heather Hastie — Sat, 10 Feb 2018 05:20:23 +0000

So far today I’ve been trying to complete a post with the working title of ‘The Rob Porter Scandal’. Things aren’t going well, so I have to revert to a tweets post in the meantime. I’ve also got a half-completed post about the Nunes memo that has to be changed every day due to developments. […]

Treating Women as Equals – Why is it So Difficult? (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 02:33:10 +0000

Once again, I can’t remember what I was going to write about for today’s tweets post. That’s because it all went out the window, or rather out of my mind, when I saw something else. As is my usual morning habit before I get out of bed, I was reading the Why Evolution is True […]

25 Oct: Daily Homily and Tweets

Heather Hastie — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 03:52:34 +0000

Most of those I follow on Twitter are of a similar mindset to me. As a result, most of the tweets from the US I see agree that Trump is a bad president and the country would be better off without him. However, I’m aware that I’m not seeing a representative cross-section of the country. […]

5 Oct 2017: Daily Homily (Puerto Rico) and Tweets

Heather Hastie — Thu, 05 Oct 2017 02:26:50 +0000

Naturally, there are still a lot of tweets about Las Vegas dominating Twitter. In New Zealand, it’s the ‘Breakfast’ news show topping the list. I have no idea why as I don’t watch TV in the mornings. One of our politicians, Winston Peters, is also getting a lot of mentions. I don’t want to check […]

My Picks for Top Tweets: 1 September 2017

Heather Hastie — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 01:05:14 +0000

Australia is finally having a referendum on same-sex marriage. I haven’t got any tweets on it, but I want to mention it all the same. Polls show that a majority of Australians favour marriage equality, but getting it into law has been difficult. Since New Zealand legalized same-sex marriage four years ago, roughly a third […]

My Picks for Top Tweets: 31 August 2017

Heather Hastie — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 02:23:11 +0000

There are some tweets I’ve been leaving out of these posts over the last few days because I’m going to use them elsewhere. I want to mention them though. They’re tweets I was expecting, but their appearance disgusts me nevertheless. They come from Donald Trump’s greatest supporters, the Evangelical Christians. They’re blaming the current disaster […]
